Audio Hijack takes available outs and lets you record them, change or edit the way they sound, and move them to available ins. Wait a minute (I hear you say), doesn’t Audio Hijack do this as well? Kinda yes and kinda no.

You take all the ins and outs of hardware and software available on your Mac and point it in the direction you want it to go. Think of Loopback (and in some ways Soundflower) as you might a mixer. So I’ll fix that now and talk about Rogue Amobea’s Loopback application. So that’s kinda what Soundflower is and I’ve spent the better part of nearly 400 words and said practically nothing about the program that this review is actually for. This isn’t all Soundflower’s fault as Apple’s Core Audio and Audio Midi Setup utility had their own issues, but latency for live audio is a killer especially when it comes to podcasting. It was a royal pain in the posterior to use and depending on your processes could add significant delay from when audio was generated to when it was received. Just one eensy-weensy little problem with it. Soundflower was brilliant and allowed for some truly creative ways to route audio around on your computer. OK, got that? In simple terms, Soundflower lets you take the audio from any source on your Mac whether it’s from an application or a designated hardwired audio input/output and move it to any source on your Mac whether it’s to an application or a designated hardwired audio intput/output.

Directly from Rogue Amoeba’s site who now host it, “Soundflower is an open source kernel extension for Mac OS X, designed to create a virtual audio output device that can also act as an input.” I guess just mentioning Soundflower really doesn’t tell you much and since I’m comparing to Loopback, a brief explanation is probably in order. Well Rogue Amoeba did and it’s called Loopback. It also is persnickety and boy I wish someone would make something easier to use. This program allows you to create virtual feeds to move audio around in your computer. Well a little while ago, they also took control of a free program that a lot of podcasters have a love/hate relationship and that’s Soundflower. No matter, if you have to deal with audio from various sources, you probably are already aware of Rogue Amoeba and some of their applications like Audio Hijack and NiceCast to name just a few. Or perhaps I’m projecting my own idiosyncrasies on everyone. They want everything to work in just a certain way and sometimes try to cram functionality with hardware and software to do things neither was meant to do. People who deal with audio on a regular basis are a persnickety bunch.
